Troubleshooting
2. Press and hold PAUSE while turning on (I) the printer. Hold PAUSE until the first control panel light turns
off.
• The initial self test prints 15 labels at the printer’s slowest speed, and then automatically pauses the
printer. Each time PAUSE is pressed, an additional 15 labels print. A sample of the labels is shown
here.

• While the printer is paused, pressing CANCEL alters the self test. Each time PAUSE is pressed, 15
labels print at 6in. (152 mm) per second.
• While the printer is paused, pressing CANCEL again alters the self test a second time. Each time
PAUSE is pressed, 50 labels print at the printer’s slowest speed
• While the printer is paused, pressing CANCEL again alters the self test a third time. Each time
PAUSE is pressed, 50 labels print at 6in. (152 mm) per second.
• While the printer is paused, pressing CANCEL again alters the self test a fourth time. Each time
PAUSE is pressed, 15 labels print at the printer’s maximum speed.
3. To exit this self test at any time, press and hold CANCEL.
FEED Self Test
Different types of media may require different darkness settings. This section contains a simple but
effective method for determining the ideal darkness for printing bar codes that are within specifications.
During the FEED self test, labels are printed at different darkness settings at two different print speeds.
The relative darkness and the print speed are printed on each label. The bar codes on these labels may be
ANSI-graded to check print quality.
During this test, one set of labels is printed at 2 ips, and another set is printed at 6 ips. The darkness
value starts at three settings lower than the printer’s current darkness value (relative darkness of –3) and
increase until the darkness is three settings higher than the current darkness value (relative darkness of
+3).
1. Print a configuration label to show the printer’s current settings.
2. Turn off (O) the printer.
